Love Must Grow
February 7th, 2009 | 
Author: Prayer Thought:
Paul writes to the church at Philippi that his prayer for them is that their love will abound more and more in knowledge and insight. This is for us today, also. To abound in love means that it becomes more a part of us. That it shows up in our actions and reactions.
Love must keep on growing, because we never fully mature in love. Growing means that every time we learn something, we are to bring it into our mind and add it to what we already know.
Life is a classroom and the growth of knowledge takes place by love. What you learn must be filtered through the Word of God.
All this to say that Christian Love will make the best decisions for us. This kind is not silly, immature love, but the love of Christ flowing through us.
In your prayer time, ask God to help you be more aware of His love and the need to grow more mature in His love. Practice makes one more loving.
“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ”
(Philippians 1:9-10 NIV).

LOVE makes the world go around
Prayer Thought:
LOVE makes the world go around, and when you think about it, that’s the only fuel to do the job.
GOD IS LOVE. LOVE gives and LOVE forgives. LOVE sacrifices
And LOVE serves. LOVE is mercy and LOVE is grace.
LOVE is compassion and LOVE is caring. LOVE is thankfulness
And LOVE is the Cross.
God LOVES us, not because of who we are, but because of who
He is. LOVE and LOVE some more, LOVE and LOVE some more
your brother. LOVE puts LOVE into action. LOVE puts the heart in
LOVE.
Are you a part of the CHAIN OF LOVE? As Believers we are a link
in the chain of LOVE that goes from God to others.
“And we have known and believed the LOVE that God hath to us,
GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in LOVE dwelleth in God, and
God in him”
(1 John 4:16).
